SEAHORSE Air to Maritime Technology Transfer

Technology Transfer from Air Transport to Marine Transport

The SEAHORSE project brings together an experienced, diverse and committed consortium from air and maritime transport sectors with the overall goal of tackling the issue of ‘Human Factors and Shipping Safety’.

By taking a pioneering and original approach the SEAHORSE consortium aims to achieve meaningful improvements in shipping safety by addressing human and organisational factors.

The SEAHORSE project proposes to address human factors and safety in maritime transport by transferring the well proven practices and methodologies from air transport to maritime transport in an effective, collaborative and innovative manner.

This will be primarily achieved by introducing the principles of resilience engineering and smart shortcuts methodology in an integrated framework which will result in multi-level resilience that linking individuals, multi-party teams and organisations in ship operation that ultimately enhancing shipping safety.

SEAHORSE Project Objectives

  • Identify the key human / organisational factors, which lead to operational successes and failures in marine and air transport and perform gap analysis in marine practices in comparison to air industry.

  • Investigate how errors and non-standard practices were managed successfully in air transport and check the feasibility of applying best practices and resilience concept adopted in air transport for marine to improve human/organisational errors and safety.

  • Develop the Technology Transfer Framework from air to marine for successful implementation.

  • Introduce a smart SHORTCUT methodology in marine operations to identify and assess non-standard procedures carried out on board ships to quantify the positive/negative effects in order to enhance overall resilience.

  • Develop and validate a multi-level resilience model and virtual platform as well as guidelines for maritime transport which encompasses individual, team, multi-party and organisational resilience that linked and integrated.

  • Implement and evaluate the benefits of the SEAHORSE multi-level resilience tools through the comparison with traditional maritime safety methods and operations in training, simulator and actual ship environment.

  • Educate stakeholders within the maritime transport industry of the benefits of resilience engineering and the SEAHORSE concepts
